To win the crown and title at the Miss Utah Teen Volunteer state pageant, Beecher competed in interview, talent, fitness, onstage question and evening gown. Beecher travels throughout Utah to serve the state and spread kindness.

2020-2021 Miss Carbon County Pageants Cancelled
SEE YOU SUMMER 2021!!
We are very saddened by the news we are about to share, but we feel it is in the best interest of our current titleholders, contestants, committee, volunteers and community. The Miss Carbon County, Miss Teen Carbon County, & the Mini, Little & Junior Miss Carbon County Pageants previously scheduled for August 2020, are canceled until next summer due to the impact of COVID-19. The Miss Carbon County Board has unanimously voted in favor of postponing the Miss Carbon County Organization Pageants. This decision was made in light of the recent postponement of the Miss Utah and Miss America Competitions, as our Miss Carbon County Lily Vigil will be representing our County at the State Competition in June of 2021.
With this being said, we would like to announce that we will be extending the reign of our current royalty for an additional year. They will remain as titleholders until we are able to safely and successfully hold our competitions in August of 2021. We are very appreciative of their willingness to step up and serve our community for another year.
The Organization also agreed that we will extend the competition age groups for the 2021 pageants so that young women who wanted to compete in a certain age group this year (2020) can compete in that same age group next year (2021). (ex: Mini 4-7, Little 7-10, Junior 10-13, Teen 13-17, Miss 17-24.)
We appreciate all the support we have been given and are excited to see what the future holds! We CAN'T WAIT to celebrate with you all in August 2021!

Carbon County Commissioners Paid Special Visit by Royalty
The Carbon County Commissioners were visited by royalty during their regularly-scheduled Wednesday evening meeting. Skylynn Basso, Miss Carbon County Outstanding Teen, and Lily Vigil, Miss Carbon County, both graced the commissioners with their presence to discuss the history of Miss Carbon County.
The duo discussed the organization, their purpose, the meaning of their crowns and more. Basso then explained that her platform is #mckenziestrong for a local young woman that suffers from multiple chronic illnesses. She explained that a mud run was recently hosted at the Carbon County Fairgrounds to benefit this platform and thanked the participants and sponsors that assisted. She stated that she wanted to continue by reaching out to schools in the community and helping them better understand chronic illnesses.
Vigil took the mic at that point to explain her platform, the Second Chance Movement. This movement is aimed toward opioid epidemic awareness. She spoke on the issue and creating awareness, stating that she wishes to seek assistance for those in the community affected by addiction.
The girls then spoke about the commissioners being very supportive historically. Basso will be representing the Outstanding Teen at Miss Utah’s competition while Vigil will represent Miss Carbon County at the same event. The state competition’s entrance fee for Basso is $400 while Vigil’s is just over $1,800. The royalty presented the commissioners with shared invoices and a breakdown of costs.
They then asked for any support that could be given for the competition costs as well as the scholarship fund. Commission Chair Larry Jensen thanked them for their presentation and questioned what was donated the previous year. Commissioner Casey Hopes stated that they approved $1,500 for Miss Carbon County and $400 for the Outstanding Teen.
The commissioners assured the girls that they would work at crunching numbers and would soon let them know the amount that they are able to donate.

Castle Country Gets Muddy to Support Fellow Citizen
Local MacKenzie Zseria is well-known in the community for being a fighter. Zseria suffers from multiple chronic illnesses, including Complex Chiari Malformation, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH), Spontaneous Cerebrospinal fluid leaks, Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (P.O.T.S), Mass Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Craniocervical Instability (CCI).
Zseria has had a large number of procedures in order to enable her to live her life. Due to these illnesses, she has fainted often, cannot walk far, and suffers from pain and headaches daily. Though this would wear many down, Zseria works hard to hold her head high and hope for the best. The next step in her treatment is to travel to New York for testing and surgery to assist in fixing the abnormal brain stem angle by stabilizing Zseria. She is hopeful that this surgery will help in a myriad of ways.
To assist with the costs that will come along with the travel and medical attention, a mud run was hosted over the weekend as a fundraiser for Zseria. This run was hosted at the Carbon County fairgrounds in Price. Friday evening welcomed all to a dinner and Saturday the real fun began as those in participation worked their way through the messy obstacle course.
Miss Carbon County's Outstanding Teen Skylynn Basso helped organize this amazing event.

A Glamorous Evening as Carbon County Royalty Are Crowned!
Saturday evening was a lively one at Mont Harmon Middle School while continuing the search for new Carbon County Royalty for 2020. While Friday evening presented the new Mini, Little and Junior Miss, the following day brought an older selection of girls to the competition. The Miss Outstanding Teen Pageant began at 4 p.m. while at the Miss Carbon County pageant got underway at 7 p.m. Within the competition of the pageant, there were also special performances from other local royalty, including Junior Miss Emery and Miss Emery County’s Outstanding Teen.
There were six contestants for Miss Carbon County’s Outstanding Teen: Rosie Wichmann, Cami Taylor, Skylynn Basso, Kaylie Basso, Hannah Knot and Madisen Justesen. The competition kicked off with a lifestyle and fitness routine that the girls performed once as a group, then one at a time. The talent portion of the competition took place next with vocal and dance performances. Finally, the last stage of competition was the evening wear and onstage question. Each contestant had to pick a question from a bowl, written by a fellow participant. They were also asked about the platforms they had chosen to represent and pursue in the community.
While the judges were making the decision of who would win the title, Eminie Elliott, Miss Carbon County’s Outstanding Teen 2019, was highlighted. She did her final walk, performed her talent and gave a heartwarming thank you and goodbye to the community. “I have loved the opportunity to serve the community,” Elliot said. She also expressed appreciate at being able to promote her platform of heart health. The winners were announced after a slideshow was presented in her honor.
The second attendant, receiving a $150 college scholarship, was Madisen Justesen with Kaylie Basso named as first attendant, receiving a $250 college scholarship. Carbon County’s new Miss Outstanding Teen title has been given to Skylynn Basso. Her platform is called “#MacKenzieStrong” and she is hoping to promote bringing comfort to those with a chronic illness. She received a $600 college scholarship and a $500 USU Eastern scholarship.

After the hour break between pageants, the Miss Carbon County pageant began. Miss Utah 2019 was able to MC the pageant along with Gracie Steele, Miss Carbon County 2019.
There were ten young women competing for Miss Carbon County: Hayley Baggs, Brinlee Evans, T’Ann Passarella, Lily Vigil, Aubrey Schmidt, Megan Mower, Kaeley Taylor, Brielle Motte, Mikayla Taggart and Alexandrea Sherman. They were all introduced during the production number, which commenced the pageant. There was then a slideshow presentation that featured pictures of the contestants through their childhood.
The talent competition got underway after the slideshow. There were many dance performances along with musical talent. Contestant Brinlee Evans told a funny story of how she initially planned on doing a dance for her talent, but while practicing during the week of the competition, she took “break a leg” too seriously and walked elegantly across the stage in a boot.
Along with the contestants’ talents, the newly crowned Carbon County Royalty of 2020 were able to perform their talents to the audience between the stages of competition. Miss Utah was also able to perform a lyrical solo for the audience. The final stage of competition presented the ladies wearing evening wear and speaking briefly of their individual Social Impact Statements. After each girl had the opportunity to talk about her platform, 2019 Miss Carbon County Gracie Steele did her final walk. There was also a slideshow presentation with a collage of pictures representing the memories of her time as Miss Carbon County. Steele thanked everyone who has supported her throughout her journey and mentioned how grateful she was for the opportunity to serve Carbon County.
That time of the evening came where the crown would be passed. The second attendant title was awarded to T'Ann Passarella, who received a $700 college scholarship and a $500 USU Eastern scholarship. First attendant, winner of a $900 college scholarship and $500 USU Eastern scholarship, was given to Megan Mower.
